Subject: Formatting Numbers with commas

Hello,

Is there a function to automatically format long numercial values before
it's entered into the table, i.e I have a value like 159600 and would be
entered as
159,600 or 78450 would be entered 78,450 etc., ?

Thank you,
Mike(mickalo)Blezien

you do not really want to destroy data this way
if you have numbers store them untouched as numbers
format them in the output however you want

if you do not mess up your data you can change the
output format to whatever you want in the future!
